Met fluwelen pootjes

The book emphasizes how Dewey's presence united a town during tough times. I wonder if this was a personal experience for the author or a deliberate choice to focus on hope.

Dewey’s character really shines through in the anecdotes, making him feel like a real member of the community. I’m curious if others felt the same warmth or if it was just me.

The stories range from humorous to touching, and I wonder what guided the selection—was it based on the most memorable moments, or was there a thematic thread?
